Company Overview

Pyxis Technology, Inc. delivers next generation IC routing software and service solutions for system-on-chip designs. Existing IC physical design tool architectures are aging and struggling to keep up. Their solutions are primarily focused on multiple iterative repair steps resulting in only minimal local improvements to the design. The Pyxis NexusRoute IC router is unique in the industry as it uses a new patent-pending architecture and one-pass flow to perform correct-by-construction optimization of IC performance, power and yield during the routing process.

Using NexusRoute, customers have seen as much as a 4X improvement in design closure cycle time with faster design performance, lower power and up to a 10% increase in predicted yield. The NexusRoute router is designed to efficiently solve the problems arising from physical effects of < 65nm technologies while blending seamlessly into the common EDA environments of IC design customers.

What users are saying

" We have done a great deal of work with Pyxis Technology and we have qualified NexusRoute for our advanced 45nm process technology. "

" Cswitch is building a complex high-performance, resource-rich configurable networking fabric where performance and yield will be of great value. We believe Pyxis has a technology that can assist us in both of these imperatives. "
-- Doug Laird
CEO
 
" We evaluated the Pyxis tool on a complex, highly-utilized design and we were surprised to see a significant increase in predicted yield. "
-- Doug Stiles
XBox Design Infrastructure Manager
 
" Pyxis Technology’s development of tools for design-for-manufacturability is critical to many of our customers who are working on projects at 65nm and below. We are constantly looking to improve our design flow to meet our customers’ design goals while optimizing their design for manufacturability and yield. "
-- Hung Hua
President
 
" DFM is proving to be key in achieving fast product ramps at the sub-65nm technology nodes, and we constantly evaluate technologies which can help our customers get to market faster. We see promise in the Pyxis approach and the potential of its technology to benefit our customers. "
